How does Acupuncture work? 

Acupuncture works by gently stimulating the body’s self regulating systems.



When a needle is placed, it creates a small signal that the body responds to. In Chinese Medicine, this is known as activating Qi. Many patients feel a sensation such as warmth, heaviness, or a mild tingling, which is a normal and positive response.


From a modern standpoint, this stimulation engages the nervous system, improves blood flow, and helps calm the stress response.



Treatment is always personalized. Some points may be placed near the area of concern, while others may be chosen based on patterns in the body as a whole. This allows us to treat both symptoms and the underlying imbalance.
